TL;DR
What did u/sunnybob24 use Perplexity for?
Working on a long document in Word, a Perplexity user had the Office 365 add-in correct all the spelling with one command, point out contradictory ideas, and write a new section from their company's website. They say it "did a fine job" on the contradictions and that the new section "got it right the first time." They say the add-in changed their mind about Perplexity.
What they did
After more than two years of using Perplexity without being a big fan, they started using the Perplexity add-in for Office 365. In a long document in Word, they had it correct all the spelling with one command, asked it to point out contradictory ideas in the text, and asked it to write a new section using information from their company's website.
How it went
They say it "did a fine job" on the contradictions and that the new section "got it right the first time." They say the add-in changed their mind about Perplexity.
Worth knowing
- They couldn't get the add-in working in Outlook and asked others for help, so this is a report on Word only. Read any section built from your website before sharing it, since it can only be as current as the site.
- Price check: Perplexity: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Oct 31, 2026).
